If you're looking for compassion focused counseling in a safe, accepting, and professional space, let's get to know each other. Are you an individual with anxiety or depression, perfectionistic tendencies, or a harsh inner critic? Are you seeking counseling for your teenager who is stressed, struggling to fit in, or being bullied? Are you parenting a child who is hyperactive, neurodivergent, or just generally quirky? I enjoy working with these populations because I understand them. My goal is for you to feel deeply seen and understood so you feel supported and validated in your struggle. We can overcome things together!

The essence of my counseling approach is that I know each person to be whole and unique regardless of what is currently being experienced. I help clients focus on areas of difficulty with kind acceptance. Knots of anxiety, depression and unhappiness unravel and resolve into greater peace. One begins to know oneself as bigger than the problem. I teach cognitive behavioral skills of mindfulness, centering and focusing to allow a greater repertoire of responses to habitual problem areas. I provide a safe place to explore one's deeper self and resolve issues that block happiness and the realization of potential.

My approach includes issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, ED, ADHD, and academic pressures.
Many young adults face the complexities of self-worth, identity, and the pressures of adulthood. They often struggle with anxiety, feel overwhelmed by relationships, or experience uncertainty in their career paths. Their needs include support in building confidence and developing effective coping strategies. Ultimately, they want to feel empowered to embrace their unique identities and lead fulfilling lives, free from the constraints of self-doubt and societal expectations. By addressing these challenges, they can find clarity and strength to navigate their journey toward personal growth and authenticity.

We all have experienced bad days, discouragement, disappointments, confusion, anxiety, and other difficult challenges. There are moments when some of these experiences create a debilitating and paralyzing effect and the feeling of hopelessness ensues. I have a passion for helping people struggling with hopelessness. I believe the narrative approach to life, which means we have the power and ability to create our present and future experiences. Every now and then, however, a guide is needed to help us navigate through the journey and overcome those debilitating and paralyzing effects of hopelessness.

Are you anxious, always irritated or feel guilty for no reason? Do mood swings cause problems in your life? Do you keep making the same mistakes over and over? Sadly, many people manage the symptoms with prescriptions, street drugs, or alcohol, often resulting in making things worse. These treatments are meant to be temporary, and never really solve the problem. As the drugs become less effective their lives spiral out of control. These people feel increasingly anxious, hopeless and finally start pushing away friends and loved ones. Isolation becomes the norm, and loneliness takes over. But it doesnt have to be this way!

Kierkegaard stated, “the most common form of despair is not being who you are.” Whether you experience this as anxiety, depression, a sense of being “thrown” into the world, stress, or some murky, unnamable thing, it’s daunting to not feel like yourself. A lack of support, past trauma, systemic oppression, or societal pressures can result in feeling like it’s either unsafe to be yourself or, in some cases, like you’ve never had the opportunity to even meet the real you. It’s my belief that you are worth knowing, that your story deserves to be heard, & that therapy can be a powerful tool in finding meaningful change.

Life is difficult. We labor at often unsatisfying occupations and manage only to keep our heads above water. Romantic relationships deliver as much heartbreak as happiness. We suffer setbacks, as do those we love. The few pleasures we encounter offer only temporary respite. Our useful ideals are unrealized. Our bodies betray us. And then we die. Amidst these realities, the modern psychopharmaceutical attempt to address natural reactions to the human condition such as anxiety and depression by dispensing medication seems like the proverbial band aid solution. What is needed is surgery for the soul.

Using an eclectic approach to therapy, I treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, eating disorders, sexual abuse, OCD, self-esteem and family conflict, among other issues.
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson. Using a holistic approach in therapy we will explore the mind, body and spirit connection. We will learn balance and build resilience through the power of self-discovery, thus improving your quality of life. Negative thought patterns and beliefs will be identified and challenged through DBT, mindfulness, and EMDR. When needed we may create healthy eating habits and a healthy relationship with exercise. Cultivating your spirituality to relieve fear and nurture an attitude of gratitude and abundance is encouraged.
